Summary

Lord Alexander Pyne-ffoulkes, the younger son of the Duke of Ilvar, holds a bitter grudge against his wealthy father. The Duke intends to give his Duchess a priceless diamond parure on their wedding anniversary - so Alec hires a pair of jewel thieves to steal it.

The Duke's remote castle is a difficult target, and Alec needs a way to get the thieves in. Soldier-turned-criminal Jerry Crozier has the answer: He'll pose as a Society gentleman and become Alec's new best friend.

But Jerry is a dangerous man: controlling, remote, and devastating. He effortlessly teases out the lonely young nobleman's most secret desires, and soon he's got Alec in his bed - and the palm of his hand.

Or maybe not. Because as the plot thickens, betrayals, secrets, new loves, and old evils come to light. Now the jewel thief and the aristocrat must keep up the pretence, find their way through a maze of privilege and deceit, and confront the truth of what's between them...all without getting caught.

For me the first half is a bit tedious plus I wasn't a great fan of the dynamic and the sense of whether Alec could trust Jerry. But the second half picked up.
The narrator was great and made the explicit parts sound not-awkward which is always difficult in audiobooks.

I enjoyed the Charm of Magpies series by KJ Charles, and I can now say that Any Old Diamonds, is my new favourite. Cornell Collins performers an entire cast of well-rounded characters and a well-planned plot. Well recomended.
